Chapter
87: The supplication of the Prophet (saws) for his ummah and his weeping out of
compassion for them.
'Abdullah b. Amr
b. al-'As reported:
Verily
the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) recited the words of Allah, the Great and Glorious,
that Ibrahim uttered. My Lord! lo! they have led many of mankind astray:"
But whoso followeth me, he verily is of me" (al-Qur'an, xiv. 35) and Jesus
(peace be upon him) said:" If thou punisheth them, lo! they are Thy
slaves, and if Thou forgiveth them-verily Thou art the Mighty, the Wise"
(al-Qur'an, v 117). Then he raised his hands and said: O Lord, my Ummah, my
Ummah, and wept; so Allah the High and the Exalted said: O Gabriel, go to
Muhammad (though your Lord knows it fully well) and ask him: What makes thee
weep? So Gabriel (peace be upon him) came to him and asked him, and the
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) informed him what he had said (though Allah knew it
fully well). Upon this Allah said: O Gabriel, go to Muhammad and say: Verily We
will please thee with regard to your Ummah and would not displease thee. (Explaining

Fire; O sons of Hashim, rescue yourselves from the Fire; 0 sons of Abd
al-Muttalib, rescue yourselves from the Fire; O Fatimah, rescue thyself from
the Fire, for I have no power (to protect you) from Allah in anything except

"
And warn thy nearest kindred," the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) stood up on

al-Muttalib, O sons of 'Abd al-Muttalib. I have nothing which can avail you
against Allah; you may ask me what you want of my worldly belongings. (Explaining

cannot avail you at all against Allah; O sons of Abd al-Muttalib. I cannot
avail you at all against Allah; 0 Abbas b. 'Abd al- Muttalib, I cannot avail
you at all against Allah; O Safiya (aunt of the Messenger of Allah), I cannot

Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) set off towards a rock of the hill and ascended the
highest of the rocks and then called: 0 sons of 'Abd Manaf! I am a warner; my
similitude and your similitude is like a man who saw the enemy and went to
guard his people, but, being afraid they might get there before him, he
shouted: Be on your guard! (Explaining

"
And warn thy nearest kindred" (and thy group of selected people among
them) the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) set off till he climbed Safa' and called
loudly: Be on your guard! They said: Who is it calling aloud? They said:
Muhammad. They gathered round him, and he said: O sons of so and so, O sons of
so and so, O sons of 'Abd Manaf, O sons of 'Abd al-Muttalib, and they gathered
around him. He (the Apostle) said: If I were to inform you that there were horsemen
emerging out of the foot of this mountain, would you believe me? They said: We
have not experienced any lie from you. He said: Well, I am a warner to you
before a severe torment. He (the narrator) said that Abu Lahab then said:
Destruction to you! Is it for this you have gathered us? He (the Holy Prophet)
then stood up, and this verse was revealed:" Perish the hands of Abu
Lahab, and he indeed perished" (cxi. 1). A'mash recited this to the end of
